During his speech Wednesday on Jerusalem, Trump appeared to stumble over the phrase "God bless the United States."

Trump in the address recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital and announced plans to relocate the U.S. Embassy there.

"I have determined that it is time to officially recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel," Trump said during a speech in the Diplomatic Reception Room of the White House.

He said he would try to resolve one of history's oldest conflicts his way, arguing that past approaches, such as delaying the recognition, have not worked.

Last month, Trump abruptly stopped a speech he was giving recapping his Asia trip to take a sip of water. Just more than 10 minutes into the speech at the White House, he paused and looked under lectern for water, before turning to the side, picking up a bottle of water with both hands and taking a sip.
